China publishes latest data of U.S. cyber attack

A spokesperson for China's State Internet Information Office on Monday
published the latest data of U.S. cyber attack, saying that China is a solid
defender of cyber security.

The U.S. is the biggest attacker of China's cyber space, the spokesperson
said, adding that the U.S. charges of hacking against five Chinese military
officers on Monday are "groundless".

Latest data from the National Computer Network Emergency Response
Technical Team Coordination Center of China (NCNERTTCC) showed that
from March 19 to May 18, a total of 2,077 Trojan horse networks or botnet
servers in the U.S. directly controlled 1.18 million host computers in China.

The NCNERTTCC found 135 host computers in the U.S. carrying 563 phishing
pages targeting Chinese websites that led to 14,000 phishing operations. In
the same period, the center found 2,016 IP addresses in the U.S. had
implanted backdoors in 1,754 Chinese websites, involving 57,000 backdoor
attacks.

The U.S. attacks, infiltrates and taps Chinese networks belonging to
governments, institutions, enterprises, universities and major communication
backbone networks. Those activities target Chinese leaders, ordinary citizens
and anyone with a mobile phone. In the meantime, the U.S. repeatedly
accuses China of spying and hacking.

China has repeatedly asked the U.S. to stop, but it never makes any statement
on its wiretaps, nor does it desist, not to mention make apology to the Chinese
people.

After the Prism program leaked by Edward Snowden, the United States was
accused by the whole world. However, it has never made retrospection,
instead, it accuses others.

The spokesperson said the Chinese government opposes any kinds of cyber
crimes, and any groundless accusations against the country.

If the United States goes its own way, China will take countermeasures, the
spokesperson said.
